What you think you know about marijuana doesn’t entirely translate to today’s weed. Yes, they’ve got the same active ingredient — cannabis — but the dose is now far higher, making it essentially a new drug. Enter Linda Richter, a leading expert from the Partnership to End Addiction, to explain how the pot of generations past has changed. She breaks down the wide range of cannabis-containing products, how they’re used, their risks, and the extremely confusing legal landscape across the US. Most importantly, she guides us about how to talk about it with young people… a conversation that’s much more serious than it used to be.Show Notes:Watch the full episode on Youtube!Join the LESS AWKWARD MEMBERSHIP HUBGo to Quince.com/AWKWARD for free shipping on your order and three hundred and sixty-five -day returns. Download the FREE Playbook for Getting Your Kid to TalkOrder our book This Is So AwkwardCheck out all our speaking and curriculum at www.lessawkward.com and our super comfy products at www.myoomla.comTo bring us to your school or community email [email protected]To submit listener questions email [email protected]Produced by Peoples MediaLearn more about your ad choices.
